lyrics

When we were kings
Up the steps to the 123
It don’t matter mate, if you don’t have a kerryoot
We got Corona, Dez is on the phone a, Think He’s
PHONING UP A CHINESE
Have a seat, have a shot
Play a drinkin game with Scott
The more money we had, the more drink we bought
Main slot, had a reputation like the big top
The stereo was crap but the playlist was shit hot.

A million jakies hit the deck, or hit the cupboard for some sex
Expect the unimaginable, and drink the jack by bucketful
The good times last past sun comes up, The 123 says screw yer club
It was a classy place to be, we wont forget the 123

We ruled the world. we had it all
When we were kings just playing angry paul
Limits were pushed, pizzas were phoned
Legends produced, in cupboards folk were boned
Bad times revoked, the war was won
Alcohol soaked we watched the rising sun
Sobriety, we had it beat
Another swig inflicted the defeat.

If you see Scott Nicol, tell him we love him.

Walking back to the 123
Jiskes pretty wrecked, guess who had to carry her?
We went to ricos, a drunken mental freakshow
Like Danny Devito, shoutin DRINK IS EVIL
Heave ho, even flow- jeager bombs ill have a go
Fallin down the stairs and fuckin break yer big toe
Flips clothes, munchin shit resembling a chip roll
Grip hoes, kickin it with Rizoos who would rip souls
